Blogorama! (Links & Highlights of the Week)

Everyone have a very Happy 4th of July weekend! Regardless of where you go to watch the fireworks, please make sure you get there responsibly and don’t put your own selfish recklessness before the lives of others. If you’re going to drink, get someone else to drive.

THING YOU NEED TO DO OF THE WEEK

This Saturday is Pearl-Palooza in downtown Albany on North Pearl! The street-wide party starts at noon and features Rusted Root and the always fantastic We Are Scientists.

Laura Glazer Makes the Cover of Metroland Laura’s a fantastic young artist who I had the pleasure of meeting at Art on Lark, and is also the host of Hello Pretty City on WEXT (Sundays @ 8:00pm), a show I highly recommend.

Ariel Helwani interviews Paul Heyman (MMAFighting.com) Helwani discovers that the bond between UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and his fictional manager in WWE, Paul Heyman, is quite real. I would pay good money to see Heyman cut a promo after Saturday’s fight with Shane Carwin.
